Rendezvous sur Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

We came to eat after skiing. We had a wonderful culinary discovery and the food was delicious. The portions were generous and beautifully presented. The chef listened carefully to our requests; thank you to him.

We came for an event and had a fantastic time. Patrick and his wife gave us a superb welcome, thank you!

Unfortunately the prices charged for the weekend of September 19th to 22nd were not up to the standard of the service for identical prices in other establishments in Chamonix already known and frequented (unfortunately full and for good reason). The room, very clean indeed, had no "amenities" not even coat racks, no hooks in the bathroom, a tiny crumbled soap in paper packaging (like in the 2* near the train station in the big cities). Tiny cupboards. For breakfast I have known better. The first evening for reasons of convenience we had reserved at the restaurant and wanted bread with our meal.... We had to wait half an hour for it to defrost... Our meal was finished. When we asked for "pepper" we were given a piece of paper since French is not spoken in a French establishment and neither is English.... Honestly, I have already visited about ten different establishments in Chamonix (depending on availability, due to my last-minute decisions) and this was the only one still available on that date. Frankly disappointed: 706 euros for 2 for 3 nights 🫣...

Too bad... Unjustified value for money. Cramped and impractical room. Same for the bathroom. Storage space too small. Not a single hook... Very brief breakfast: cartoned cottage cheese, fifth-rate orange juice, supermarket pastries, no choice of bread. Staff barely speaks French. Sure, it's Chamonix, but that doesn't justify the mediocre service. Too bad, but it still leaves a bitter taste. Go take some hotel management lessons across the border in Switzerland! I won't be caught out again!
